The current xip implementation does not work with flash. It only works
with ram/rom, and we use it in a virtual environment to share data
between multiple virtual machines.
After a long discussion with Joern Engel and David Woodhouse, I
believe we came up with an idea how we would extend the existing xip
support to work with memory technology device. But that is not
implemented, and not work in progress.

Actually, only few people consider s390 as embedded platform. And s390
is the only exploiter of xip to date.
